One thing I will say is that there is very little support for The Sims games on Mac. It seems that EA ignores bugs and issues on Mac and does little to resolve them, which is quite frustrating. If you look in forums the same errors appear over and over and there is no known fix for them After spending about $400 on the sims 3 and the expansions, my game is virtually unplayable because of bugs, which is a shame (and i don't have ANY custom content installed). I'm definitely ready for the next era. I'm so excited for them to reveal more about ts4
